      The ship song 
1990 Nick Cave & The bad seeds original song

G                D             C               G       D
Come sail your ships around me, and burn your bridges down
G                 D             C              G     D
We make a little history, baby, everytime you come around
G                D           C              G         D
Come loose your dogs upon me, and let your hair hang down
G                 D            C               G     D
You are a little mystery to me, everytime you come around


C                  Em         D
 We talk about it all night long
C               Em     D
 We define our moral grounds
Em                  G
 But when I crawl into your arms
       C                 G        D
 Well, Everything comes tumbling down.

G                D             C               G       D
Come sail your ships around me, and burn your bridges down
G                 D             C              G     D
We make a little history, baby, everytime you come around
C                      Em  D
 Your face has fallen sad now
C                       Em      D
 For you know that the time is nigh
Em              G
 When I must remove your wings
     C              G      D
And you, you must try to fly.


G                D             C               G       D
Come sail your ships around me, and burn your bridges down
G                 D            C               G     D
You are a little mystery to me, everytime you come around
G                D           C              G         D
Come loose your dogs upon me, and let your hair hang down
G                 D             C              G     D
We make a little history, baby, everytime you come around
